Monkey Business

Check out the frosting on these banana cupcakes. Super smooth and creamy, cream cheese buttercream … so delicious and creamy. Did I mention creamy? I also used a little added yellow to tint the otherwise cream colored creamy cream cheese frosting … you know, just to enhance the senses. I’m tricky like that.

Why yes, yes they can! These cupcake toppers are also candleholders. I’m officially in love here.

And it gets even better. They want to be your friends, too. Not these, they’re mine. All mine.

But these could be all yours.

When I bought these cutie pies from the Lollipop Workshop on etsy (also be cheery on flickr), I bought enough for two more sets. And I want two of you to have one. Well I want all of you to have them, but I only have two sets to give away. (Martian and Robot colors may vary from above.)

All you have to do to enter is give me some advice.

You see, Lollipop Workshop also sent me something else … A surprise … when she mailed the cupcake toppers.

I’m 10000000% certain it will be crazy cute!

It’s in this box and I haven’t opened it yet.

Why?

Because she also sent this box for my little helper. So sneaky and sweet of her.

So the question is…Should I wait until my niece visits again so we can open them together?Should I rip open mine now and show you what’s inside?Should I open both of them? I could re-wrap ’em and no one would be the wiser.But I do like surprises. Hmmmm… tortured by sweetness.

Okay, so you know I’m really gonna wait, right.

But, I’m just curious – what would you do?

Leave your answer in the comment section below and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a set of assorted cupcake toppers from Lollipop Workshop.

Make sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you win.

Deadline to enter is Tuesday, August 18th at 5 p.m. TIME’S UP!

Two winners* will be picked at random and announced sometime Tuesday evening on this post.

And, here’s some more cuteness from Lollipop Workshop. Custom cake toppers, lollidolls and candleholders. The store sells out quickly when she adds new products, so just send her a message if you need a custom order.

You should wait and open them together…I know the anticipation is killing you but it will make the moment that much better! :) Take pictures of the surprises, I'd love to know what else you got!WhitneyWhitney.Nichelle@yahoo.com

holy cow! i thought they were the newest pops on the block!super cute!

anyway….you should wait. there's nothing like the look of surprise on a little ones face. just make sure to have the camera at the ready! (and good luck resisting temptation if that's what you choose!)

I would wait until your neice comes and then open. Even as much as you want to open and then re-wrap ;)

And I have to say that the candle holders/ cupcake toppers are ADORABLE!!! If I win *hint hint* I want the monkey ones. My little monkey turns 3 at the end of august and those would be awesome on his cake. :)

Oh man! So cute! I would definitely open your present — no way I could wait!! Your niece will be excited to open her own, but you can open yours and enjoy it yourself too!– Samantha manthamarie@gmail.com

Oh coem on ladies- "wait" broke the wagon!!! I think you should open them both- there might be something edible in them and you wouldn't want it to spoil- even if that means eating them too :)Lizwhassay@columbus.rr.com

I say wait. Anticipation is half the fun of a gift. And she will love getting to open the gifts with her aunt. It will be a special day together.Sounds like a good day to make a special treat to go along with the fun,

oooohhhhh….the anticipation!! I would be hardpressed to keep them wrapped, but I agree with just about everyone else. You should wait and open them together. Although I do think that you should invite your niece over ASAP! And post pictures…..inquiring minds want, no need, to know!!

Although the urge to just rip it open is soooo tempting I'd say wait until my niece visits again so we can open them together. It's awesome to enjoy something by yourself but even more awesome to share the excitement!! :D FYI These are precious! :) courtneyssweets [at] hotmail.com :)

Oh that's tough! I say wait…when I first started college, my mom gave me a wrapped present with instructions to open when I got stressed. About seven months passed and I decided I may never get stressed and just opened it. Actually, I shouldn't have waited so long. I take it back, open it then rewrap. Totally the way to go.http://www.emilyadi.com
